Extracting Data from Hall of Fame? #42

Hi, apologizes if this isn’t in the right spot, as this is not an issue with PKSM, however I need an answer. I’ve recently began playing Pokemon X in order to transfer my Pokémon from HeartGold to Home, and I’ve forgotten how fun it was, as X was my first Pokémon game. So, naturally, I got around to looking at the Hall Of Fame records and saw some of my first Pokémon on there. These Pokémon are now long gone, either due to trading or me releasing them, so I was wondering if there was a way to extract the Pokémon completely from there? I know GameFreak is rather lazy with how they deal with save data, as I believe Pokémon Ultra Sun still has data and icons for the different mails even though we never actually use them in that game, so I wouldn’t put it past them to just make a copy of the mon and put it there. I know my reasoning for this next part is a bit weird, but please bare with me. I love PKSM, as it really got me into hacking, but I realize now that I shouldn’t have touched my older Pokémon. I am a real stickler apparently for legality and legitness, but my younger self hadn’t realized that yet, so I really ‘jacked’ up my older Pokémon. I mainly just messed up their EVs and IVs, making them more competitively better, but I hadn’t realized that their Characteristics would change too. The very few Pokémon I have left from my original playthrough of X are some that I really hope I didn’t tamper with, and the only way I can prove to myself that they’re legit is to have access to their old IVs, though EVs wouldn’t be bad either. After learning that there might be hope in the Hall Of Fame records, I would like to know if PKSM or some other program can help. Sorry for the long post, but thanks for reading anyways.

I was actually looking at Hall of Fame stuff (Gen 4/5 specifically) and it is possible to extract some details of your teams, though not everything. PKSM does not currently have a function to extract HoF data, but a script could be written by someone to do it.

In the meantime, you could try checking out this tool

Ah ok. I figured PKSM might not have something like that, though I thought it was worth asking. I’ve previously looked up that tool, and it seems like it won’t help. Like I said, I’m in Gen 6, and I’m sure you know but I’ll still type in just in case someone has a similar interest, the PID and IV connection was separated. I wish I was more code-savvy lmao, otherwise I’d create a script like that.

Transferring this to the scripts repo as, if implemented, it will be as a script.
